There’s always something happening at Glen Mar.

130 Boxes Collected and Packed for Operation Christmas Child
On Nov. 14, middle school youth packed 65-70 boxes using donated gifts, school supplies, and fun items made at the Day of Service and during Local Mission Week. We delivered an additional 60-65 boxes filled by Glen Mar families to the Operation Christmas Child drop off. The boxes will be sent to churches around the world who will give them to children living in poverty as a way to connect with families in the community and share the Gospel. (More to come next week.)
Light of the World Sermon Series
Our Advent sermon series, The Light of the World, is inspired by the book with the same title by Amy-Jill Levine. This series looks at the coming of Christ from the lens of different perspectives such as Joseph, Mary, shepherds, angels, Caesar Augustus, Herod, Elizabeth, and more. We will also look at the testimonies to the Light of the World in the Old Testament. [Read More]
